Very nice.

Did you have any special tricks for threading the cables around that bend?

Looks great! How much did it raise your hands as compared to the stock bars?

I wish someone would make 10 inch that are actually 10 and not 12. I don't understand if there is a fairly uniform way to measure rise, pullback, center, etc... How do these 10 inch bars in description end up with a 12 rise... Isn't the rise the most important number?

You think with how many people that look for bars that would sit just below fairing height, with less pullback then HD, that some bar builder would actually make them. klockwerks ergo bars seem to be the closest, but the wrist angle is too extreme for most...I hope they work for me cuz that is what picked up.

So if any bar builders are reading this.. Please make the bar I described above! Lol

Roland Sands Convoy bars are advertised as 9" rise. My buddy has them on his SG and it puts your hands exactly where I want mine. I just want the Yaffe bars though.
